"Job Fair"

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I will be attending a "job fair" this Wednesday the 13th. What kind of questions should I be asking? If it were for E.M.S. I would not have any problems, but, as a graduating (I hope ) nurse...What should I ask?:rolleyes:

although i now live near philly, i grew up in north jersey. i would recommend robert wood johnson, overlook or morristown memorial. i used to work at overlook, and if i still lived up there, would probably be at morristown now.

i went to muhlenberg son in plainfield, and graduated at 20. i worked there as well in their er after i graduated. i wouldn't really recommend the hospital though. i got my bsn from kean.

i don't know where the fair is bc i've been a rn for 17 years and i am presently not looking for a job! :p

what area of nursing are you interested in?

My 'true love' is emergency nursing. I've taken a tour of morristown and liked it, but it's a bit far away from me. I'd like to work at Jersey Shore, St. Barnabas or RWJ or St. peters. I've never been to or looked at overlook so thats definatly something to think about. I recently went to look at Temple in philly. Is that near you? I loved it there, but no so sure if I would want to live in PA...maybe just on the border of NJ and PA would work. I do my clinicals at RWJ and worked there previously. I really like it, but no so sure if it would be my 1st pick...had some not so good expirences there :uhoh21: I'm really excited to see all the different hospitals that come to our career fair. Its all soooooo confusing, but in a good way! :rotfl:

Interviewing for jobs is a learned skill.

You are going to be inundated. I (personally), would inquire as to their benefits and when they start, as I have a family.

Ask if you can shadow a nurse before you sign on the dotted line. That's a good way to find out if the unit and you would be a good fit, as they say.

Remember: you want to find out as much about them as they do you. You are interviewing them, also...it's a two-way communication.

It's a nurses' market. You can find your niche by deciding WHAT you want, what is important to you, and then finding which hospitals offer that.

Good luck! :coollook:
